Did you install any custom Rom??

1. Make sure your phone is connected to wi-fi.
Simply pull down the notification area and press
the leftmost button named Wi-Fi. Alternately you
could do this using mobile data but this could get
expensive if you are not on a data plan with your
operator.
2. Press the apps icon to take you to your apps.
3. Find and press the settings icon to take you to
the settings menu.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and press
the About Device.
5. At the top there is a tab named Software update, press it.
6. On the next screen there is a tab named Update,
press that one.
7. Your phone will now connect to the Samsung
servers and if there is a update available the
upgrade should start imminently.sent from my HTC One V using xda premium

thanks again. i will try this on weekend. could i remove this orange?
I think that if you update to jellybean the orange will go and any sim will work because I remember that I had a telestra tab which was running eclair but when I updated it to froyo telestra was gone.but I'm not sure if it will work on sg3.in phone section ask the devs if that is possible or flash a rom
Sent from ma 5assak
Just flash a stock Rom with Odin, that will blow all the orange bloat to kingdom come!
ok, i'll just wait until aug 29 to see if jellybean can remove this.
@slaphead20 - i prefer not customizing my ROM. unless, jelly bean can not remove orange.

Stock rom is not customized its Samsung stock rom .
Your official JB will be via Orange .
Or you can flash stock JB rom when it arrives before Orange release .

Have you tried to clear the data from the camera app?
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All> Camera and clear the app data and see if that helps.

Hi, If you did A clean install wich means U did all the wipe of every thing from CWM, and as you said you even installed stock rom, then always facing problem.
I'm afraid your have a hardware failure my freind. somebody must have fallen it down by accident. Unless you bought it like that.
Here's one other thing to do :
Serach for a freind who has the same phone well worked, do a backup from recovery CWM, copy the backup file frome his phone to yours, then do a restore from cwm recovery mode. If it works, then it's Ok, if not, It might be a hardware failure.
I really hope your phone is fine
Good luck.

Good Luck.
just download the original apk and install i had the same problem
By chance are you using Siyah kernel 3.1rc6 That kernel has a problem that causes the camera to fail if you are do nothing except upgrade the kernel under no circumstances wipe ANY data since if you are on that kernel you can destroy the internal memory with a wipe that can't be fixed and needs a motherboard replacement.
If when you open the camera a popup says that the camera has failed I would check immediatly if you are on said kernel.
Edit: sorry I didn't notice someone bumped such a old post that couldn't have this problem since it is before its time.
i'm having this same issue. i found that it must be a bad flex cable or connector inside the phone. if i tap hard right under the camera i can get it to fail or not fail without resetting anything in the camera app. thought it was software at first too.
have not opened the phone yet but i figure its either cold solders on the connector or loose connecotor or both. if you throw a piece of tape there inside the phone to press on it then it should fix it.
Use
*#197328640# in the dialer
and check option 8 for WB-AMR status
I am seeing:
WB-AMR SETTING: OFF
GSM WB : OFF
UMTS WB : OFF
Anyone on stock firmware able to change this?
I am using a rooted SGS3 with XLITE ROM and am wondering if the reason I am unable to change this is due to the modem/radio I am using

is there any way of activating this
I already posted the only solution I found a few weeks ago
The only answer I got was that it was not simple enough (people seems to always want a "one click" solution)...
So for now, there is 2 solution:

Incredibly helpful.
Here is the actual post for those that can't find it.
Need to be rooted:
-find /system/csc/customer.xml file
-change the wb-amr settings in this file
-reboot
-check your wb-amr status
-if it is still "on", then backup all your data and perform a factory reset
-now your wb-amr status should be "off"

The several apps right there might be a problem...or the rom is buggy (many are).
So tell us what rom it is, what android v, what apps youve installed that required root access.and if youve modded.any futher the rom or enabled mods already within the rom.

The rom is the standard one that I reckon comes with the phone.
I haven't had modified anything apart from installing apps and updates.
The phone is not rooted in any way. Nor have I modded or inserted into the rom.
I have updated to jelly beans. And the latest applications I have installed are koffice, swift key, poker stars, and I am quite sure I have been changing settings but nothing visual.

Some of them are, but some I have downloaded in a different way if you know what I mean. Hopefully I haven't caught a virus or something like that. Now, a factory reset will erase all my data right? And what else?

A factory reset is better than resetting a factory i guess....
Factory reset really seems best.
Just make a backup of your apps (use titanium backup) and then restore them
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
that's interesting, because as far as I know, the ripple effect on the desktop (not the lockscreen) is not included in the stock ROM. are you sure you're not talking about the lock screen? you can enable the ripple effect by going to Settings - lock screen
Yeh I am sure. I'm sure that it was there for some time after I have updated the os. Then again I have installed a great deal of software which I think had made my wavy effect disappear?!
And can I do a backup of the apps with no root access I don't think it's a good idea to play an expert and damage the phone beyond repair. Thanks!

Aye, what do I have to do? If you just give me a link to the most current method used, please.
The phone is gt-i9300 international. Thanks!
read the basics
I realise that. But there's a lot of people who suggested all sorts of different ways doing the same thing. All in all if you flash the rom solely don't it enables root privileges in a more effective fashion..? Thanks!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
R: [Q] No effects when clicking on a desktop icon
The most effective fashion is the most complete one, not how you do it.
If youre speaking of flashing through odin modified parts of the rom so you can gain root access..then yes thats what i did (just look it up on youtube, make sure you write galaxy s3 international (if international version) and android version of your rom).
If youre speaking of flashing a custom rom which comes with root access already unlocked, you need to have root for that.
Its easy you can find it on google or youtube. Best method for now (or perfectly working one used by the most people) is flashing some stuff through a programm for pc (or mac i think, but im not sure) called odin. Then i advise (once you have root) you boot into the phone and install from the play store rom manager. Thru this app you may install a new recovery (basically safe-partition of disc, think of it as a bios or firmware for a pc. What u need it for is to save ur ass if u f***k up your phone, or to make COMPLETE backup images of your device so that you may restore them later on. It can also be used to flash other recoveries and therefore replace itself, or flash other roms or kernels. Its a MUST HAVE for anybody with root)

You must be deodexed for this to work and on the most current ROM which is "AMDL" I suggest using Nottach's PRom found here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258904
I have personally tested this on 3 different units all running the PRom with no issues at all...
If you are running a Rogers device and want this then PM me a copy of your deodexed android.policy.jar file and I will take a look at it. I only need one so I will delete this once I receive it....
Here is a quick mod I put together....It will give you the long menu press to kill feature as well as the extended reboot menu. You must have CWM or TWRP in order to install..Just go to recovery and install the zip...
Based on feedback below this mod doesn't seem to work with Rogers.. I will look into it and see what's up.
Flash at your own risk....
This has been tested on an att S4 with twrp/loki...
I also found this which works for increasing your volume..Just install the zip from recovery..this really increases the volume may be to loud for some..

So if you open an app and once opened you hold the menu button down the app should close and a little message is displayed saying killed:appname.
If you press the power button to turnoff or restart phone and you hit restart a new menu should pop up..this doesnt happen either????
are you odex or deodex??

Anyways you can add a Version that just had the four way reboot and not the long press menu? Or even better make long press back button to kill app rather than menu. I used long press menu for search alot
Works great for me. Thanks for a great mod. :good:
I am on AT&T odex'd with CWM auto loki.. Gonna flash again after back up! Really just want for reboot but kill button would be nice too. Also gonna try manually replacing policy.jar file.. Will update with results.
*UPDATE*
So manually replace policy file had no affect either. Well keep testing and report back.
